THE CABINET CHANGES.

The employees OF the Interior and Post once De-
partments to-day were considerably interested in
the changes that are about to be made In the
heads OF those Departments Mr.. Lamar, in retir-
ing from the Interior Department, leaves number
OF vacancies Including that OF the chief clerkshp
the private secretary to the Secretary and the
chief Of the stationery division. All the ofces In
the Post-Ofice Department are at present filled,
but it seems to be the general impression that MI
Villas will take with him to the Interior Depart
ment some OF the personal friends
who have received appointments at his
hands In the Post-On Department.
Among these may be mentioned Mr.. Bryant, the
clerk, and Mr.. Nash, the general superintendent OF
the railway mail service. All these gentlemen are
from Wisconsin. Mr.. MOrieilo NOyes. the chief of
the bond division IL an uncle OF Mr. Was and was
brought from his home In Vermont and given this
position. II is not thought however, that he win
pretty well understood that Judge Bryant will be
made assistant attorney general OF the Interior
Department: This latter place is not
yssan but SAID that With
through whose influence the present incumbent,
Mr.. lack Montgomery, OF California, was APP
pointed, that he will be provided for elsewhere
Mr.. Nash Will probably remain In his present
position, but there Is some talk OF Mr.. Roy

RussiAn Reasons for the Massimg Of
Troops In Poland.
PARIS Dec. 7.-According To private advices from
Warsaw the massing OF Russian troops on the
frontier Is attributable to Information received by
Russia OF concerted plan by Germany and Aus
trfa Tor united action tn the event OF q war be-
tween either OF those powers and Russia In that
contingency it was proposed that Germany and
Austria should suddenly invade Russian Poland
and occupy Warsaw by using their greater facili-
ties for m0bilizing. In consequence OF the dts
coyery OF this alleged project, kussia resolved to
compensate for her slow power Of mObfiZtng by q
permanent increase OF her frontier forces. The
movement implies no aggression, but Is purely
